Bio

I am an award-winning entrepreneur, educator, sales expert, author, a passionate startup advisor, and a pitch coach that recently helped a startup win two different $100,000 pitch competitions in less than 24 hours.

I am a Startup Mentor for the Alchemist Accelerator in San Francisco on an advisory board for South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas and have been a National Growth Advisor for Goldman Sachs’ and Babson College’s 10,000 Small Business Program in Boston.

I am also the most recent recipient of the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics bi-annual Gold Award of Excellence in Entrepreneurship and for the last six years, I have been the Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Bow Valley College in downtown Calgary where I run Calgary’s Innovation Rodeo, three different student-focused pitch competitions - VentureQuest, 150Startups and INVENTURE$ Student Track – coach startups to generate early revenue and give away over $100,000 each year to help post-secondary students across the province of Alberta become first-time entrepreneurs.
